The Houston Texans are set to host the Kansas City Chiefs at their NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas as the NFL's 2015 season books more games on Sunday.
When it comes to the Texans, the main attraction aside from quarterbacks Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett is defensive end J.J. Watt.
Bleacher Report indicated that with Watt and fellow All-Pro player nose tackle Vince Wilfork going up against a "patchwork Chiefs offensive line", it seems like Alex Smith and his crew's jobs are cut out for them.
However, Kansas City can balance things out as they also have a tough defense that could give a lot of problems for new Houston starting signal caller Hoyer.
Linebacker Justin Houston is one of the most fearsome defenders in the league and his crosshairs are surely going to focus on whoever is at the Texans' pocket, as per Top Bet.
This game is tough to call as both defenses seem superior that either team's offenses. But the home team usually has the advantage in this kind of situation so the Texans' chances are better.
Prediction: Texans win, 14-10
